Xu Yourong quietly stared at the Divine Path, stared for a very long time.
As the snowstorm intensified and slackened, nobody appeared.
The little Black Dragon had taken out a stewed beef knuckle from some place and was currently gnawing on it. In a muffled voice, she said, ”If it's not the final moment, who would dare to kill you?”
Xu Yourong gave a faint smile, then turned and began to walk out of the Mausoleum of Books.
The Black Dragon thrust her hand into the snowstorm. The oil staining her hand was instantly frozen into powder by an extremely low temperature, then blown away by the wind, leaving her hand completely clean.
She looked at Xu Yourong's back and asked, ”Just what do you want Wang Po to do?”
Xu Yourong still did not reply.
The little Black Dragon suddenly thought of a possibility, and her vertical pupils slightly constricted.
She chased after Xu Yourong and began to yell.
”You want him to intrude upon the Divine Path?
”Shang Xingzhou will definitely come to personally stop him!
”That will cause a huge problem!”

The news that Mao Qiuyu had broken into the Divine Domain was quickly made known to the entire continent, causing shocks to run through it.
In a very short time, the Li Palace requested an honorific title from the emperor on his behalf.
According to the old customs, an estate would have to be arranged for him.
The Storms of the Eight Directions had all had their own estates. For example, Bie Yanghong and Wuqiong Bi had Xiling's Ten Thousand Years Pavilion while Guan Xingke had Starshatter Rock in the Southern Sea. Cao Yunping's estate was Mount Feiya, which the Tianhai Divine Empress had gifted to the Elder of Heavenly Secrets, though very few people knew that the price the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had paid was just a visit to the capital to take a look at Chen Changsheng.
The estate Mao Qiuyu chose was somewhat surprising, but it was also within reason.
He chose Mount Han.
Mount Han was in the northern reaches of the continent, very far from the capital but very close to the snowy plains that the demons ruled.
More importantly, it was where the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had once resided.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets now completely belonged to the Great Zhou Imperial Court, but the buildings around the Heaven Lake of Mount Han and the marks the Elder of Heavenly Secrets had left there were still present.
Mao Qiuyu had used this choice to make his stance known, and it was also the Li Palace's second display of force following the events at the Mount Song Army headquarters.
The Great Zhou Imperial Court had no reaction. They remained silent on the matter and gave no objection.
Shang Xingzhou was still in Luoyang's Monastery of Eternal Spring and the emperor was still residing deep within the palace, rarely leaving his hall and even more rarely meeting people.
Xu Yourong's visit that night to the Imperial Palace had stimulated countless conjectures and much unease, but it now seemed that the weather would be fine for now.
The people simultaneously exhaled, but they were also greatly confused. Countless gazes looked toward a certain peaceful courtyard in the capital, looked toward its orange lanterns.
The marriage between the Prince of Louyang and Mo Yu was about to take place. Chen Changsheng would be officiating, and Xu Yourong, as the bride's only friend, would naturally be attending.
……
……
This marriage that attracted the attention of countless people was not conducted in the princely estate, but in the Orange Garden.
Starting at dawn, the garden became extremely lively, with the congratulations of guests and their teasing voices never once stopping.
Compared to the front courtyard, the rear courtyard seemed much quieter.
Linghai Zhiwang and several dozen bishops stood in the surrounding snowy forest, cutting this place off from the front courtyard.
Chen Changsheng stood in a pavilion, listening to the noise. He shook his head and said, ”I didn't think that they were going to live here after they married. I still thought that she would move to the Road of Peace.”
Xu Yourong looked away from the winterplums and said, ”She doesn't want to be neighbors with those princes, and besides, the Road of Peace left a bad impression on her.”
This year, both the capital and Luoyang were very cold, but time was still passing and the winter was reaching its end.
The winterplums outside the pavilion radiated a striking and glamorous red, but perhaps in another few days, one would no longer be able to see such a sight.
Chen Changsheng gazed at the winterplums and thought of the death by a thousand cuts that Mo Yu and Zhexiu had carried out on Zhou Tong on the Road of Peace. He couldn't help but sigh.
